korea is largely considered as one of the most rapidly developing industrialized countries in asia.
however, it is less well known internationally that korea has a distinct culture, rich in artistic
and technological accomplishments. this exhibition celebrates the country’s cultural diversity
and primarily focuses on the aesthetic principles and technological achievements epitomized in
contemporary korean art, architecture and design.
